SPECIFICATION forming part ef Lettere Patent No. 586,085, dated July e, 1897.

Application filed May 5, 1896. Serial No. 590,288. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom, t may concern.:

Beit known that I, LEONARD HENKLE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Rochester, Monroe county, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gas-Burners,o'f which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in gas-burners, especially of that kind which is used in connection with incandescing mantles.

Referring to the drawings `which accompany the specification to aid the description, Figure l is a vertical section of the burner and showing the mantle and chimney in position. Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2 2 of Fig. Il. Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3 3 of Fig. l. Fig. 4. is a section on the line 4 4. of Fig. l. Fig. 5 is a vertical section of the burner-head and mantle and showing how an infusible rod for supporting the mantle may be arranged.

The burner is constructed as follows:

A is the mixing-chamber, approximately spheroidal in shape; a, the nozzle, which threads on the gas-pipe d. The diaphragm b, which may be formed integral with the bottom plate d of chamber A, is perforated with line holes b Z9. Top c and bottom d of said chamber A are preferably of thin sheetbrass and are united by turning the edge of the top c under the edge of the bottom d, as shown, and in said top c are holes e. The valve D is a dished plate shaped to fit on the top c, the flange f' holding said valve concentric to the chamber A. Openings fin said valve D in one position, Fig. 1, register with the said holes e and admit air. By turning the said valve the holes e will be closed by the solid part of the valve. Said valve D is fixed on the lower end of the tube g, the upper end of which iiares out to form the head h. A wire mesh il is secured at the bottom of the said head 71,. A cap-plate t', with flange j, fits on the top of the head h and is provided with a number of burner tubes or tips Zt. The central tube it is preferably closed at the bottom and serves merely as a support for the annular plate L, on which the mantle M may rest, Fig. l, or as a socket for the infusible supporting-rod N, Fig. 5.

In the arrangement of Fig. 1 the plate L is equipped with a Y-shaped bracket o, which is riveted to said plate L. Two slits p, Fig. 5, are made in the lower part of the bracket and a loop is formed by bending the metal, as shown in Fig. 2. This loop lits over the tube 7c. Points q q are turned up from the plate L to center the mantle M, as indicated in Fig. l. The burner is provided with the usual filigree clamp P for the chimney Q and latticed globe-holder R.

When it is desired to use an infusible rod,`

as N, Fig. 5, the lower end of said rod is inserted in the tube 7c and the mantle hangs in the usual manner in the crotch at thetop of the rod. g

Now, having described my improvements, I claim as my inventionl. The combination in-an incandescent gasburner of a mixing-chamber, a gas connection thereto, air-inlets through awall of said mixing-chamber, a perforated valve centered and rotating on said wall and controlling said air-inlets, an eduction-tube carried by said valve, an enlarged head on said tube, and a plurality fot" gas and air delivery tubes on said head, substantially as described.

2. The combination in an incandescent gasburner, of a mixing-chamber, a gas connection thereto, air-inlets through a wall of said mixing-chamber, a perforated valve centered and rotating on said wall and controlling said air-inlets, an eduction-tube carried by said valve, an enlarged head thereon, a plurality of gas and air delivery tubes. on said head, a blind tube on said head, and an annular `support for a mantle carried by said blind LEONARD HENKLE.
